Former Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford appeared on BBC Breakfast to give an update on band member and close pal Phil Collins.
Speaking to the presenters, the 72-year-old expressed that Phil, 72, is "much more immobile than he used to be" as he discussed their past tour.
"Phil is much more immobile than he used to be," Mike started. "It's a shame but at the tour he was in good spirits and he's fine now at home, enjoying life.
"He's worked so hard over the years, I think he's enjoying his time at home," he added.
Mike also revealed that Phil's son Nic had joined them on tour as their regular drummer couldn't make it.
Asked who was the stronger drummer of the pair, Rutherford replied: “I always support the dads because I’m this generation. Phil’s the most amazing drummer, but Nic is fantastic too. Like his dad, but a bit different.”
During the final Genesis tour dates last year, Nic also replaced his father on the drums, with Rutherford adding that “it was really nice to have the two of them side by side”.
